This is exactly the confusion I feel when a subject of the art I identify myself with passes away. The western culture confusion I think. There's no notion of expressing sorrow for an artist who is lost, whereas there are plenty of ways to do it for a person. But I didn't know him personally. I don't know what kind of personality he had when he didn't play, and I will never know in person. The way he spoke to his wife and raised his children, the way he fell out with his friends, the way offscreen Robin Williams managed his life after all. And who is he to me beyond the virtue of casting, direction and production, beyond the perfect mask of a character? Whoever he is I feel kind of culturally helpless to vent this bitter taste away from the roundabouts of my cortex and basal ganglia.

Animals as Leaders' 3rd long-play is coming Match 25th! These two are promising: [track artist=Animals as Leaders]Tooth and Claw[/track] and [track artist=Animals as Leaders]Lippincott[/track]. Especially the latter, and with a hope of buying FLAC-version somewhere on the due date.

Thanks for looking at my problem, I already encountered a similar issue of invalid character with the event description in the API. I usually pay attention to what I scrobble so there shouldn't be too many cases like that. I hope. I'll delete this track from my library and try again.

This is just [url=http://youtu.be/2nFILtIAlvk]an outstanding note[/url] on new [artist]Tool[/artist] record topic :-D Not less outstanding is that I got it from [url=https://twitter.com/mjkeenan/status/293051934942834689]Maynard's tweet[/url], which says "Har dee har". A lot of laughs.

The Reverend's [url=http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2012/11/events_and_rituals.php?page=2]recent robust word[/url] of time-honored storytelling: "...for those stories to accurately span multiple generations, the architect of the verse must have a firm grasp on the important details and be able to wrap them around archetypal frameworks that speak to our daily lives. And then the architect must also understand the importance of a compelling delivery. A skillful storyteller must be employed to pass down the story. And they in turn must be able not only to pass on the story, but also to pass on the skills necessary to effectively deliver the story".

Again I've remembered of [url=http://playground.last.fm/demo/timeline]scrobbling timeline[/url] and been looking for it in [url=http://www.last.fm/group/Stats]community apps[/url], [url=http://build.last.fm/]last.fm build[/url] and finally in its [url=http://playground.last.fm/]last.fm playground[/url]. Have some other utilities from there.

And finally deleted scrobbles – [url=http://playground.last.fm/unwanted]Most Unwanted Scrobbles[/url] counts what trendy folks shame of, possessing a next trendy dross and the way to find out how much you're of those – [url=http://playground.last.fm/demo/undelete]Restore Artist Tracks[/url] ;-)

Oh, yeah, and about tasty meter complexities in its inevitably perceivable and unquestionable form. Recent Danny Carey interviews ([url=http://youtu.be/2t1lt99CWnA]part1[/url], [url=http://youtu.be/Bb5siEiAYKs]part2[/url], [url=http://youtu.be/IpzQPLThrIg]part3[/url]) at his [url=http://www.vicfirth.com/artists/carey.php]Vic Firth signature sticks page[/url], about recording process, new [artist]Tool[/artist] record, his side-projects and his basketball jerseys ;-) Btw, lately I've heard a story from his old-fashioned drummer pal that Danny is "coupaging" drugs until certain play-feel :-D

A rich article [url=http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/jose-pasillas-sinking-back-into-the-beat/]Jose Pasillas: Sinking Back Into The Beat[/url] in DRUM! magazine with some facts about the girl in the black hat, wait, [album artist=Incubus]If Not Now, When?[/album] generally and essentially, his drumming aspects. I knew it's a vocal record, I felt like that and now have a proof :-) In the way of Jose I admit that most songs' drums might sound downplayed or at least not quite complex-tasty, but always give a feet-tapping. But it's a lot about mixing priorities, yeah, Brandon needs quite a few space, and once you give him an ear, everything get into the right place, to a place of [artist]Primus[/artist]-inspired drummer :-)

[url=http://www.last.fm/user/Israfel11]Dominic[/url] [url=http://www.last.fm/music/The+Chronicles+of+Israfel#shoutbox]told[/url] drums for "A Trillion Lights, Tome II" are done, the rest is supposed to be completed until winter 2012. Or at least before next [artist]Tool[/artist] LP ;-)

The fame denier, the ether cloud plugin, a painter and one of two of my favorite vocalists, [url=http://livestre.am/1k32v]Musicians' Institute Conversation Series with Brandon Boyd[/url]. He amazes me often, and this has been the time as well. Such a talented and intelligent but at the same time humble and attentive. His emotional impersonated illustrations just flash directly to the my emotional perception. You're literally great, Brandon, and you inspire.

Each time I look at Tosin's parts, I wonder. And again trying [track artist=Animals as Leaders]David[/track], I'm amazed. Its beauty spread in bars, it flows slowly and gracefully throughout. No doubt his [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/xnextgtrgodx]xnextgtrgodx[/url] isn’t pretentious, but just elaborate :-)

Unfortunately, i'm not a ticket wizard at all...well. only in case if ticket wizards buy tickets for a show in Finland and then get rejected with the viza, forget to sell the ticket and have this green paper monster to remind me of what i have missed.. this happened to me in october with Oceansize Helsinki show. Anyhow, regarding mowgai.. i'm such an absent-minded person, that i can look through you even if you talk to me like "youuuu!!! do you remember we had these english-speaking conversations in lastfm? i know you do!". just because im a bit "not here". nevertheless, if you miraculously see me there, wave a hand or better - throw something to me so i can recognize you. ^^

я поняла, что ты имеешь ввиду :) и пишу что с барабанами ничего сделать не могла. но уже не актуально, да. ну, и про резнора - в последние пару лет его почти не слушаю, но определённая прелесть в нём есть, особенно в тех местах, где мелодика превосходит индустриальность) Mutyumu послушаю, спасибо.
